AI Governance Guide launched in Brussels

On April 29, 2026, IFRRO was delighted to welcome colleagues, partners and friends to Brussels for the official launch of its AI Governance Guide, marking a key milestone in its work at the intersection of copyright and artificial intelligence.

Presented by Professor Eleonora Rosati of Stockholm University, the Guide offers a clear and practical vision of AI governance based on copyright principles, emphasizing that licensing (direct and collective) and transparency are the essential pillars for ensuring lawful access to protected works and building trust in the AI ecosystem.

Round table: licensing, collective management and creative markets

The presentation was followed by a round-table discussion featuring Serena Dederding (CLA), Susanna Brozzu (EVA), Anne Bergman (FEP), Sandra Chastanet (CFC) and Prof. Rosati. Discussions focused on developments throughout the AI lifecycle, from training models to bringing them to market, as well as the practical challenges of text and data mining regimes, and the growing role of licensing and collective management solutions.

Speakers also discussed the growing impact of AI on creative markets, highlighting the need for balanced governance frameworks capable of both fostering innovation and preserving the value of creative works.

The Guide is publicly available here.
